Christmas in July! Don’t Get Stuck – Plan Early & Sew Often

Oh, July: time to be with family, relax by the pool and sip fresh lemonade on the porch….all while planning your holiday gifts, right? I’ve always been a fan of Christmas in July: as a kid, I wore our VHS tape of A Christmas Story out in the summertime…the holidays seemed so far away!

But as crafty people, we know that we better get started soon if we’ve got handmade gifts to make on our list this year.

Need a few ideas? Embroidery is the perfect thing for quick gifts. Grab one of the too-cute holiday collections below and use them to customize store-bought or scratch-made items. How about a set of elegant winter snowflake tea towels? A Christmas-tree-bordered tree skirt? Or a sweet apron with a row of yummy Christmas cupcakes and gingerbread men?
